Coat of arms of the Australian Capital Territory
The coat of arms of the city of Canberra was granted to the Federal Capital Commission, its successors and the City of Canberra by King George V in 1928. It has been used by the Australian Capital Territory as its de facto coat of arms, as the territory does not have one of its own. A modified version of this coat of arms also appears on the flag of the Australian Capital Territory since 1993.
